He's got a sunburn on his left arm
From hangin' out a Peterbilt window
Got a wife and three kids on the farm

Drivin' just as fast as he can go, yeah

Minneapolis in his rear view

He's a dead headin' to Tulsa
Got the hammer down on 82
With every mile marker getting' closer, I said


Hey, he's a trucker man
Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can

Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rollin' back home


Starin' a hole through the windshield
He's got nineteen on the CB wheel
They call him the Bandit

'Cause he only brakes for the Smokies, I said

Hey, he's a trucker man

Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rollin' back home


He's got a Smith and Wesson in the glove box
And Mother Mary on the dashboard

He's a red blooded, blue collar man
American right to the core


Hey, he's a trucker man
Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll

His eighteen wheeler is a rollin' back home

Say it, hey, he's a trucker man

Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rollin' back home

Well, he's rollin' back home
